1. This report is based on the Student Enrollment File (ERSS) of the Chancellor's Office Enrollment Reporting System, Division of Analytic Studies.

2. The census date for this report is the close of the third week of instruction for campuses on a quarter system and the fourth week of instruction for campuses on a semester system. Enrollments are in terms of the net number of students actively enrolled on the census date.

3. Enrollment type is based on the number of semester or quarter credit hours for which a student was enrolled on the census date, as follows:

Part-time students - fewer than 12 credit units.
Full-time students - 12 or more credit units.

As of Fall 1994, for postbaccalaureate/graduate students only:

Part-time students - fewer than 9 semester or quarter hours.
Full-time students - 9 or more semester or quarter hours.

4. Class level is determined by the number of accumulated semester or quarter credit hours as follows:

Class Level

Semester Hours

Quarter Hours

Freshman

fewer than 30

fewer than 45

Sophomore

30 to fewer than 60

45 to fewer than 90

Junior

60 to fewer than 90

90 to fewer than 135

Senior

90 or more

135 or more

5. The classification of student majors is in terms of the level of program rather than by the level of student. Primarily, this effects postbaccalaureate students who are seeking a second Bachelor's degree, since they are recorded in the undergraduate program level. Thus, Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6 which display enrollment in undergraduate programs by discipline division and major, include postbaccalaureate students seeking a second Bachelor's degree.

6. Beginning fall 2008, fall reports will be posted with resident-only data as well as the total enrollment data. To figure non-resident totals, subtract the resident data from the total enrollment.
